Seeing the girl's weird appearance in this chapter, Jiang Hexi couldn't help but smile. As expected, the girl who played well with her cousin must have been not a shy temperament. Her elegant appearance is really similar to her cousin.

"Forget it, since Miss Liang has this idea, Madam, please help them, so that my girl can see her."

"Yes, madam, don't restrain the children, let them go."

When Yu saw that the time had come, he waved his hand in disgust, "Go and go."

"Thank you, my mother!" Liang Ran responded with a smile, and pulled a few girls whom he knew were walking briskly to the lotus pond.

Next to the colorful lotus pond, a group of young women stood aside and chatted and laughed.

"This is the county lord Chunxi. I have heard of the county lord's name for a long time. Today I saw it, it is indeed worthy of its reputation." Miss Ling smiled at Jiang Hexi, her eyebrows and eyes were full of gentleness.

Jiang Hexi smiled politely, "Miss is a mistake."

"The chrysanthemums over there are good. I'll go and take a look first. The county lord will do it." Miss Ling couldn't see Jiang Hexi's faint alienation, and she didn't care. She smiled at the few people and walked there step by step

Among the flowers on the side.

Zhang Meiqing could see that the two sisters had something to say, but they didn't bother them. They found an excuse to go to the side to enjoy the flowers.

Liang Ran naturally saw Jiang Hexi's curiosity and lowered her voice and said, "Her name is Ling Hanzhen, she is the daughter of Ling Tongzong of Qingzhou. She is the most versatile person. My mother always asks me to learn how to deal with her, but I always feel that

She is too comprehensive and I really don't like it."

So that's it. Jiang Hexi knew it in his heart. Liang Ran was unrestrained and naturally didn't like people who were too sleek. With her straightforward temperament, she would probably make things difficult for Ling Hanzhen to get along with this person with such a delicate mind.

"It's also for your own good. In the next year, you will marry into Duke Li's Mansion. Duke Li's Mansion is the Empress's mother's family. He attaches great importance to the rules. If my cousin doesn't learn how to host the house and welcome guests, it will probably be very hard in the future."

"Now my cousin is still in the boudoir, and my aunt still has the opportunity to teach me. When I go to the capital in the future, my cousin will marry into the capital alone. My aunt must be very worried. Now I will calm down and listen to my aunt's words."

Liang Ran curled his lips and said indifferently: "Where are I alone? Isn't you still there? You will definitely go to the capital with me next year. I would have any questions that I don't understand, wouldn't it be better if I ask you."

"Besides, no matter how unattainable the Duke Li's mansion is, I'm not rushing to marry into their mansion. I wish they wouldn't like me to break the engagement. I don't want to marry so far away at all."

Seeing Liang Ran's lonely and helpless look, Jiang Hexi, who had originally wanted to persuade her, couldn't bear it anymore. Finally, she couldn't help but say, "Since my cousin doesn't like marrying to the capital, why did you respond to this marriage that day.

, If you don’t want to, your uncle and aunt will definitely not force you.”

Hearing this, Liang Ran was silent for a moment, sighed quietly, and looked at the clouds in the sky with a distant look, and his voice was a little empty: "Xi'er, you also know that my grandfather has never liked my father. My father is extremely intimidated in Qingzhou.

It means that the power is the only one. The officials of other factions in Qingzhou naturally don’t like their father. Their relatives and many officials in the court always report to impeach their father from time to time, but they are just rejected by His Majesty.”

"The Pingjing Hou Mansion not only did not help his father explain, but he always kept silent. To outsiders, this almost determines his father's fault, which is really ironic."

Liang Ran smiled coldly, "The world is always like this. Those so-called noble people have always praised themselves for their filial piety and kindness, but they do not know that filial piety is stupid! Don't think I don't know that they are just using filial piety to attack my father.

.”

"Although Dasheng is not as focused on civil and military as the previous dynasty, the military officer has always been shorter than civil officials. What's more, Dad is far away in Qingzhou. Although His Majesty has some protection, the slander for many days may be a long time.

It will really become a weapon of attack.”

"My brother didn't want his father to be too isolated and helpless in the court, so he gave up practicing martial arts all the way and went to take the imperial examination. My brother was smart since childhood and would definitely have high school for the next year's examination, but I was worried that he would be bullied by other officials and sects after staying alone in the capital.

.”

"Dad and my brother never talked to me about this, but in fact I understand that I don't want my father and my brother to work too hard. Now that I have this opportunity, I naturally have to seize it."

"Although I don't know why Duke Li's Mansion has fallen in love with me, the Duke Li's Mansion has a huge foundation and is a top-notch family in the capital. If Duke Li's Mansion will say a word or two to Zhennan Hou's Mansion when others maliciously slander their father,

That's enough."

After hearing this heartfelt words, Jiang Hexi couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. It turned out that Liang Ran was not so careless on the surface, as if she didn't care about anything.

On the contrary, she understood everything, and understood her responsibilities as a noble daughter and the grand responsibilities of the family.

After a long time, Jiang Hexi stared at Liang Ran with a smile on his face and said softly: "Then, do you like Prince Li?"

"I don't like anyone, but I don't hate that Prince Li either." Liang Ran looked at Jiang Hexi with a little amused, and pointed her nose with a hug, saying angrily: "Do you think everyone is

Can you marry someone you like? We women in the boudoir almost never leave the door for the rest of our lives. Marriage is the order of our parents. The words of the matchmaker are never the final decision of who to marry."

"Xi'er, I actually envy you very much. If you have the opportunity to go out for business, it is very hard, but you are also very comfortable. You don't need to look at the faces of others. You can go wherever you want. The world is so big, it's mine.

Where to stand." Liang Ran walked to the railing beside the lotus pond, slowly spread his hands, half-squinted his eyes, and his long skirt flew slowly.

Looking at the woman standing in front of her, Jiang Hexi couldn't calm down for a long time. So they thought so?

Although she came to another time and space for no reason, she actually didn't feel uncomfortable. Her life here was smooth sailing. Even if she met some bad people or things, it was always solved in the end.

Moreover, no one can restrain her, she has always been free.

In the past, she always sympathized with the involuntary marriage of ancient women and was always numb to their minds, but in fact she was narrow-minded. They were actually very clear about their positioning and were not willing to do these things that sounded very unfair.

But if you enjoy the protection of a family, how can you not give anything at all?

"Cousin, I think that Prince Li treats you very well. He must have you in his heart, so he will come to propose marriage. Don't think too much, your life will definitely be extremely happy."

Liang Ran smiled back and bent her eyebrows, her tone was full of pride of the girl from Zhennan Hou Mansion. "Xi'er is right, I was raised by my father and mother, and I was not a problem to deal with people. Beijing City

It is also my second hometown, so I will naturally be in a great life.”

"Well, we'll all be fine."

The day of the Birthday Festival is coming quietly.

The birthday of the Wanshou Festival means endless longevity. On this day, the entire Dasheng celebrates the emperor's birthday. This festival can be regarded as an important ritual activity in the palace.

On the emperor's birthday, the whole country has always had three days off, and celebrations are held at the same time, which is also a "joy between the government and the country".

What's more, this year is the birth of Emperor Jian'an forty years, and it is even more of a priority.

Most of the ancients' lifespans were not long. Although the emperor lived a life of luxury, working hard all day long and dealing with court officials was extremely exhausting.

Therefore, most emperors in history did not live long.

Forty years old can be regarded as the node of the emperor's life. Which emperor in history does not want to live forever and live for a long time? But only life is equal to everyone.

Even the emperor of the Nine Five Emperors is no exception.

The people of Shengjing City were also ready early. The craftsmen of the capital used colorful paintings and cloth to package the main streets in a colorful way. Red lanterns of all sizes hung all over Shengjing City. From a distance, they looked like a piece.

The orange-red ocean is filled with a scene of singing and dancing.

All civil and military officials from all over the country also set up incense tables in the yamen and gave great gifts to the capital to show their supreme respect and pious loyalty to the emperor.

The envoys from all countries who arrived at the inn half a month ago now sailed into the palace in a carriage under the reception of officials of the Ministry of Rites to celebrate the next birthday party.

Emperor Jian'an, wearing a yellow dragon robe, sat directly above the banquet hall, smiling with his eyebrows and looking at the grand occasion of the coming of the country below.

Empress Li wore a court uniform, solemn and generous, sitting dignified beside Emperor Jian'an.

Empress Li was born in Duke Li's Mansion and was a young couple with Emperor Jian'an. The empress was smart and smart and extremely talented. She worked with Duke Li's Mansion to assist Emperor Jian'an ascend the throne as the emperor. She had a deep relationship with Emperor Jian'an. Even if she had no children in her life, she was the best.

The honorable and glorious queen.

Zhao Xiangzhang, Prince Xiang and other princesses, as well as some senior officials and foreign envoys, sat in the hall, accompanying both sides.

The group and the outside envoys sat in the two corridors outside the hall.

The auspicious time has arrived, and officials of the Ministry of Rites have stepped out and waved their long sleeves.

The musician first imitates the singing of a hundred birds, and the inside and outside are solemn. For a moment, only the harmony of the air is heard, like a phoenix and phoenix flying together.

Then, the artists who had already had instrumental music in the colorful shed downstairs of the mountain moved when they heard the sound. In an instant, various musical sounds such as clapping, pipa, and guzheng were endless, lingering in the palace.

Two hundred sides of the sticks and drums were arranged on both sides, and the first cup of imperial wine was raised. The musician was singing, the sheng, flute, and the flute were played first, and then the music was heard together.

Zhao Xiang was the leader of all officials. He took the lead in making wine for the emperor, raised his wide sleeves, and sang and said: "Suiyu wine, the old minister wishes Your Majesty a long life and a long blessing, and wishes a prosperous country and a prosperous future for thousands of years."

"I wish Your Majesty a long life and a long blessing, and a prosperous country and a prosperous future for thousands of years!" All civil and military officials and envoys from all countries stood up, raised their wine cups in their hands and toasted to Emperor Jian'an in awe.
